It is important not to rely on just the arms, but instead to utilize both the upper and lower body together as a solid unit. You should think and know that your body is going to move the club. You will be able to control the ball and send it further without injuring yourself.

Learn the rules of golf and how to record your score properly. Your score is what is usually used to judge your ability as a player. When keeping score, every time you attempt to hit the ball is counted as a stroke. Your score at each hole is calculated as the number of strokes it takes for you to get your ball to the hole. The less strokes, the better!

It is important that you stay alert during a game of golf. You need to take your shot when it is your turn. Many times, there will be other groups behind you waiting to take their turns, and they can't do that if you are dawdling.

If you do not bring your club back too far, you can make the most of the power of your golf swing. When you pull the club back, it will boost your hitting power, but when you overdo your swing, it destroys your posture and can cause you to miss the ball all together, or even worse making you get an injury.

When purchasing your next set of golf clubs, you might want to check into custom-fitted ones based on your exact specifications. Since every golfer has a different height, weight and body structure, a club that works well for one golfer may not work well for another. Matching your golf clubs to your body's proportions can really improve your swing.

Prior to purchasing a new set of golf clubs, take the time to consult with a knowledgeable club technician. This is a good idea because a pro will be able to analyze your swing and stance to see what clubs are likely to improve your game the most.

Go ahead and add your own little style to your game, you can do things like change your stance, while moving your front foot just a bit closer to your ball to avoid slicing it off the tee box. "Closing" your stance like this can cause the ball to balance and remain in the fairway in preparation for your next shot.

Align your feet with the ball to make effective shots. Doing this is among the best actions you can take to make your golf swing better. Your feet should form a right angle with the intended direction of the shot. A way of accurately determining this is lining the golf club up beside your feet. The golf club end will point in the direction of the ball travel.

Do not think that only your driver should be made from graphite. Graphite shafts are now available on a wide variety of clubs. Due to recent technological developments, graphite shafts are now good options for all clubs but the putter.

Strike a ball with the sweet spot of the club for perfect accuracy. Work with each of your clubs to find this "sweet spot." Once you do, contact the ball with the club's sweet spot right at the end of your downswing.

Focus on the speed your swing has when you actually hit the ball if you're facing a long putt.
